Well done! Swis trains have a reputation of being the best in the world. Delays and cancellations are practically unheard of I believe. |

Had my first major test, and..
I PASSED just to let you know. |

UPDATE!
So, I'm still there, learning the basics of train-driving. And It's really interessting. Currently we are learning the parts of the engine, this motor, that valve, ect. And about two weeks ago, we were allowed to even drive by our own. It was quite fun. Travelling 300-500 meters by train, driving yourself. It's a real difference to the simulator, we usually sit at. And all those visits to the depot to look at the parts in real... yeah. I like it. Last saturday, we took a little test, to see where we are. And I scored 75%. Not too shaby. |

Reasonably close? Fair enough, I'll start practicing right away.  |

$15/hour at McDonalds... if Switzerland was just a few minutes away I'd start practicing "would you like fries with that?" in French/Italian/German.  |

I start on the 7th of August, but won't sit in a actual train till November.
Now who want's my job at McDo? |
| craig3410 Posts: 30/119 |

ZOMG YOU BUMPED 
It should be noted CONGRABULATIONS. When do you start? |
| PrincessPeach Posts: 204/381 |
Sorry for bump, but:
I just got a call from login. I GOT THE JOB! (Out of 30, I was choosen amongst the choosen six). |
| Skreename Posts: 703/1427 |
That's cool. I don't know too many people who do that... but at least now I know of one. Congratulations... It's always nice when your dreams come true. |

only CAN 11.80? That's 7 less I got. (CHF 18.54 ~= CAN 18.54).
But yeah, it'll surely be great. But don't forget, here in switzerland, other expenses are also higher (a CHF 600.- room with bath and kitchenette is cheap, and that's without TV, Electricity or Water). But yep, 30/h is much. I like it. And there full time engineers fear for their salary to decrease ^^;; |

Come over to Alberta, you get like $20/h Canadian just to stock shelves at a store....
or work at mcdonalds for about $11.50 canadian for a starting position.. its crazy here..although I wouldnt work at a fast food place for $15/h no matter what. |
| drjayphd Posts: 585/1170 |
It should be noted that not only were you making more than me when you were at McDonald's, you were pulling in more than my ex and her cushy guv'mint job.  But hey, if you're doing what you love, that's all that matters, right? (Getting $30/hour to do it's even better, but still.) Hopefully, I'll be able to get this one opening I'm looking at (probably shouldn't post this at work, but I'm the only one here so HA!)... |

Looks like a nice train. 
As for my dream job, I have to find out what it is first. But thanks. |
